Common Problems in Disaster Response Efforts

Reported natural disasters have been on the rise – almost year over year – since the mid-1940s. This increase in occurrence and reports requires the development and innovation of best practices, processes and programs for effective disaster response.

Unfortunately, many governments and agencies are ill equipped to provide the support needed to help a community or region in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Victims are underserved and, in some cases, left without the care they need to recover or even survive. Current disaster response efforts face problems such as normalizing data for effective communication, sharing information between organizations that are disparate or cannot interoperate, and cross-border issues.

Communication challenges are certainly a priority to address, but they are not the only critical issues impairing effective disaster response efforts.
